The Rosetta Institute of Biomedical

Research offers an advanced class for high
achieving high school students interested in a
career in medicine or related fields, such as
pharmacy, nursing, biomedical research, or
drug development. Through engaging lectures
and hands-on laboratory classes, students learn
normal molecular and cellular biology and how
these normal processes are distorted during the
development of cancer. At the culmination of the
